    Visual Materials

    Big Creek, Shaver Lake Dam - View of Shaver Dam, showing particularly Section 18, which was left low when work was stopped late in 1926 and to allow for spillway. This section is now being brought up along with the others but will be kept four feet lower for a while. The track running up along the face of the dam lengthwise of the picture is the one over which concrete will be supplied to one of the towers not shown in the picture and which tower will be out of reach of the chuting system. .
